according to the guy, i guess they were planning to put a V-8 in the mondeo and race it or something, but scrapped the idea..... maybe someone on fordmondeo.org knows something about this "prototype"
dunno what V-8 they would have used, being 1995....
here's the link to the toy car.... if it's true, someone should know about it
EDIT: oh, and i'm staring at the pic for the car, and it's a LHD mondeo, maybe from germany???
I think he's full of crap. It looks like the "standard" STW (Super Touren Wagen) Mondy with no stickers. Like maybe he got hold of one before it was finished? (I have the Asch #17 car..., and yes, it was a German race series.)
I guess the real question is whether Ford ever tested a V-8 in the Mondy. I have to agree, in 1995, what V-8 would it have been?
We know they tested a de-stroked 2.0L Duratec, I believe for the BTCC but found it wanting.
V-8? You're right. I think we'd have heard about it by now.
